Overall, Rock Band 2 may be mostly incremental in upgrades and seemingly more of the same, but from where I sit on my drum throne, that isn’t a bad thing at all.

After playing Zoids Assault, I really had to wonder why it was made or why Atlus decided to bring it over to these shores.

The amount of thought put into Lock's Quest and the amount of effort and detail in every corner is astounding.

Unfortunately, a great concept got lost in a morass of poor decisions and overcomplexity, if that's a word.

Either way I suggest steering clear of this title even if you are looking for a resurrection of some nostalgic dodgeball gaming.

Mercenaries 2 is absolutely fun in spite of its quirks and should be at the top of everyone’s must buy list.

At just $9.99 anyone who loves zombies, weird Japanese games, arcade games or even giant eyeball alien games owes it to themselves to check out The Last Guy.

While Operation Fallen Star is the third booster pack, it is definitely the most feature rich and game changing booster pack yet.

Tales of Vesperia is a very strong addition to the Tales series, and makes a fantastic debut on the 360.

If you enjoy the Disgaea games and the sense of humor behind it, then you'll definitely get a kick out of the story that is crazy even by Disgaea standards.

It manages to capture the essence of that strangely enjoyable game we call baseball, even if it is lacking in other areas.

If you like a little bit of puzzle in your shooter and have a high patience level, then be on the lookout for Bangai-O Spirits.

Perhaps the only people who won't enjoy this game are those who don't understand or like the comedic style of the Homestar Runner universe.

While it doesn’t reinvent the wheel, it does handle almost everything right.

It's obvious that they put little or no effort into developing this turd, and Atlus should be embarrassed charging a full $60 for it.

It was interesting seeing more from a company that I thought handled primarily fighting games, and I also got to see the history of a company that is beloved by millions of gamers.

At $39.99 any fan of Silent Hill should enjoy Siren: Blood Curse.

1942: Joint Strike is a solid, but short update to the 1942 series. The inclusion of online co-operative play is a nice addition that works well.

Izuna 2 certainly does have personality, and it does help to offset a lot of its deficiencies, but it's just not enough to push it over the top.

If you have quick reflexes and a fast stylus hand, you will probably have an absolute blast with this one.

So, if you have played Final Fantasy IV, or if you have never tried it but are familiar with other examples of the genre, you will definitely enjoy Final Fantasy IV for the DS.

CivRev has been an extremely pleasant surprise. It’s not perfect, but it does a fantastic job of taking one of the most complex gaming franchises and boiling it down to the fundamental aspects that make it so much fun.

Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2 is a very addictive and fun game.

The delivery is tried and true, but it is starting to feel a bit old.

It's a good extension of the series and a nice way to introduce the older Aerosmith fan base.

In conclusion, Final Fantasy Tactics A2 is a very good game that could have been a lot more. They could have put more effort into the music and graphics and made it a must-have, but it's still good and worth a play.

The single player delivers, but is a fairly one-trick pony that provides roughly 7 hours of mindless fun punctuated with genuinely funny dialog.

It will take a little getting used to the Guitar Grip, and you do need to remember to take breaks. However, if you do this you will be rewarded with a fun Guitar Hero game on the go. Rock on!
